I've never had one and I won't judge but please please please do your research on the clinic and be safe. Some doctors arent as safe as others and if done wrong an abortion can cause permant injurys making you barren. Abortion will take an extreme physical, mental,and emotional toll on you. Maybe talk to a therapist before and after.

I had one and afterwards I thought about it for a long time. You always wonder what if????  If YOU have a good reason for your decision go with it, just make sure YOU think long and hard and only YOU will know what to do. My prayers are with you  good luck.

Do what's best for you. Don't think to long about it. There are state laws that say you can't have one past a certain week of pregnancy.  So figure out the law and make your decision.  
And it is something that you will think about for ever. The what ifs, and if you made the right decision.  Don't let anyone force you into making that choice. You need to make the choice on your own.

If it's a support thing them I'm sure you can get it here I know about those feelings. It's just not the right thing to do if your doing it because you're scared of someone. This is a human life I'm a 15 year old I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I'm scared to death so don't do it if it's fear. Think about your reason long and hard and decide if it's worth giving up an amazing bond you can have with your child and if it is then, make sure you have a doctor that doesn't freak you out when you go in make 100% sure you trust this doctor. My prayers are with you.

I'm sorry to hear that. The physical pain heals within a few weeks, the emotional part never really does. The what ifs stay with you. I didn't personally have one, my best friend did. We'd been friends for a decade before that, it kind of tore her up for a long time. Our friendship didn't recover once I had my children. It was too painful for her. My heart goes out to you, I would suggest counseling as well before and especially after.

Please please don't...I'm not judging you I promise...I have seen so many women choose that then regret it whether it be the next day or years later... If u really don't want to keep the baby please consider adoption...

If you can't have the baby why not try adoption? So many people who can't have baby's would love to have yours and it's safer for you and your not taking an innocent life. I would go with adoption over abortion.

I had an abortion 15 years ago and I haven't had any regrets. I felt really bad before it was done, but afterwards I was relieved. Now I'm pregnant again and this time I'm very happy about it.
What about the process is scaring you?

I remember when I was about 8 weeks pregnant, me and my fiancé we're pretty much homeless living in a hotel room living week by week, I will admit I thought about abortion only cause of financial reasons and I Didn't want to bring a Baby into this world and not be able to feed it or take care of it. I was back and fourth on it for a couple weeks but I never said anything to my fiancé cause
I was ashamed . But now we have our on place and I'm a stay at home pregnant wife soon to be mom and I look back and feel awful for feeling that way, I've never told anybody. But I know now times seem so tough but things will look up don't be so quick to give up everything happens for a reason..

My sister had an abortion about 3 years ago. She just started college and got a job. And wasn't ready for a bby and had other reasons. Now 3 later she has a great job and is pregnant and as happy as she can be. She made the right choice for herself.  Don't listen to people who say u will regret or going to hell or any other nonsense. Do what's best for you!  It's your body and your life. Best of luck

I would suggest going on with the pregnancy. I'm not judging or anything but I think abortion is wrong. But that's my own opinion. I'm pregnant n I'm keeping my baby I've already grown attached n love this baby. But if its just because u dnt want to be pregnant thats just wrong bevause ita ur fault not the babys. But if you got raped then that's diff. But if its just bevause u dnt want to be pregnant or have kids then do adoption. There are women that can't get pregnat n want children but can't. They would love to have a child. N I believe it would make you happier n even those ppl. They would sharish u. Just do the right thing.

Personally i never had one will never have one in my life .. i see that if u can have sex and get pregnant then u can take responsibilty and ur consequences along with the decision you made instead of killing a life . Just because maybe its because of age or the father doesnt matter i was 17 with my first fibushed school and been having all these jobs to take care of my child and now 21 with my second . I would never abort and i never regret my childern .. at the end of the day ur childeren will always be there for you and love you !

I had an abortion when I was 21. I was to nieve (sp) and didnt think I was pregnant till I finally went to the Dr. because I thought something else was wrong with me. I was about done with my first trimester when I found out. The dad wanted me to have an abortion and we were a freinds with benifits kind of relationship. I wanted to keep it so bad at that point. Then we went to his brothers place and his sister in law chewed me a new one and broke my spirit. Seriously shes a B**** anyways but I let her get to me. I finally reluctantly decided to abort the baby and was in my second semester. The procedure was so painful and required an in office visit to implant seaweed to dialte my cervex for the O.R. procedure the next day.
I have an ultrasound picture to remind me of the worst mistake I knew I have ever made in my life and I regret it every day of my life.
You should think long and hard on this choice because it can mess you up mentally and make sure your reasons for not having the baby are legitamite. You may never forgive yourself and live with the choice you made. I allowed people to push me into something I didnt want so if this seems to be the case for you kick those people out of your life right now and do what you think is right. If anything you can always put your little one up for adoption.
Hope this helps!!!

Oh my god, the poor girl asks for one thing; please don't judge. You don't know a thing about her situation and still you decide to do just that; judge.  
I recommend cassie to really think about all alternatives before she makes up her mind. And yes, some people have a hard time after an abortion, psychologically. And some of us get over it. Whichever decision you make, it should be your own. Don't let anyone else influence your choice. You're the only on who knows what's best for you.
I know i could never give up my baby for adoption. For me the choice was between keeping the baby or having an abortion. I knew abortion was the right code for me and I have never had any regrets.

Pregnancy is always possible when one decides to have sex. So we need to think that it could happen every time. I have tried for two and a half years to become pregnant with my little miracle that I'm carrying now. You really could make someone else's dream come true by adopting this sweet miracle to someone who has been waiting . I pray that you can find peace andyou could go to LDS social services and get help to find a family and resources to pay for the pregnancy. My God bless you and the baby.

I had one and I truly regretted it. Even though I was fine and it went okay, the thought never left my mind. It's been over 2 years and I still think about it today. I told myself I would tell women who were thinking about having one to never do it. Seriously. Pray. I will say a pray for you.

All I can say is do what's best for you and your situation. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and 20, it was a surprise to us, but we couldn't be happier. That being said one of my best friends had to get an abortion because of many personal reasons, all I can say is either way have a good support system. Do what you think is best don't let someone else influence your choice, wish you all the best !♡
